The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom.

Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in November 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 61 m² it sits well below the postcode median (128 m² across 18 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £100,000 is 33.4% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£114/sq ft) was about 69.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
